Liberals try and support everything by appropriating other people's money. They should not have this carte blanche. How do Conservatives fund the government's budget?

Phat writes: From my vantage point, it seems that one side supports the Right To Life and the other side supports the Right To Choose. It is interesting that Conservatives are all for the government inserting itself into a woman's doctor's office. So much for small government and the right to rid yourself of governmental interference.

Taq, isn't it also interesting that Conservatives took a hardlook at slavery and affirmed that it was a moral sin. That sounds entirely made up.
Do you think that owning slaves is a far worse sin than murdering helpless little babies. I think owning slaves is far worse than aborting a fetus.
Do you think that a man who is promiscuous and impregnates a woman should be held accountable for his actions? Such men are held accountable, and I support such laws and policies. Child support is a good idea. But it does take two to tango, as the old saying goes. Women aren't innocent victims (except in cases where consent is not given or is compromised).

candle2 writes: Taq, you say that men who behave irresponsibilityshould be held accountable for their actions. I think all people should be held accountable for being irresponsible, not just men. At the same time, accountability can mean many things. It can mean being held accountable by your family or friends. It can also mean being held accountable by a boss at work. It can also mean being held accountable by a court of law.
Why shouldn't a woman who is promiscuous be held to the same standard? Men and women should be held to the same standards.
Also, tell me when a fetus inside a woman is not human. It's a tough spectrum to define, but I don't think a fetus a couple of months old is human in the same way you and I are.
Check your history books. The Republican party did not exists before Lincoln. Conservatives and Republicans weren't synonyms at that point in history.

candle2 writes: Dwise, the Democratic Party is responsible for Jim Crowlaws. It was the conservatives in the Democratic Party who did that. They left the Democratic party when the Democrats passed the Civil Rights Act. Guess where they went? The Republican party where they had like minded conservatives. The only reason that conservatives were not in the Republican party before that is because it was the Party of Lincoln, and their southern prejudices would not allow them to be Republicans. It was the liberals that that ended Jim Crow, and they did so by defeating the conservatives in the votes for the Civil Rights Act.

candle2 writes: Taq, since Biden has been in office fuel priceshave doubled and tripled. Yes. This is a combination between the war in Ukraine and inflation caused by money that was pumped into the market to prevent a recession during pandemic lockdowns. Would you rather have had another Great Depression, because that is where we were headed.
Biden is quick to throw the less fortunate under the bus. I see no concern and no compassion in his eyes. How so?
Blacks, elderly, and those with limited incomes are having a really difficult time, with no end in sight. Yes. Pandemics and the resulting economic effects can and do have disproportionate effects on the poor. Biden helped ease some of those problems through several programs during the recovery from the initial lockdowns, such as direct payments and rent assistance.
Do you think the less fortunate deserve better than this? Yes, but Republicans will block any such legislation.

Taq, make a list of all the racist Democrats who left theParty after passage of the CRA and the became Republicans. You need to familiarize yourself with history:
quote: Strom Thurmond is the prime example, and there are many, many more. The South once voted solidly Democratic, but now it votes solidly Republican, and that started after the passing of the Civil Rights Act and the defection of the Dixiecrats from the Democratic party to the Republican party. It's not a big secret.

Taq, I am 69 years old, and I know with crystal claritywhen gas prices started up. In Murray, KY, I was paying $1.60 per gallon when Trump left office. When Russia invaded Ukraine gas was already over $4.00per gallon. Ummm, no. In Febuarary 2022, before the invasion of Ukrain, gas prices were around $3.50. AAA Gas Prices Prices were at that price because of a world wide shortage of oil, even at that point. The invasion of Ukraine worsened that shortage. What do you want Biden to do, force other countries to produce more oil? The US is already a net exporter of oil. This has been true for Biden's entire term. We produce more oil than we consume.
When Trump left office America was producing enough oil to supply all our needs, as well as exporting to our allies. We never produced enough oil to supply ourselves and all of our allies. Never.
The very first day Biden was in office he stopped the pipeline from transporting oil, even though trucking it would be two to three times more costly. What active pipeline did Biden stop?
His administration began to place numerous and costly restrictions on American companies who had leases to drill on federal land. We were already a net exporter.
He made it too costly for them to and make a profit, which is what the Democrats wanted. At the same time Biden encouraged the building of a gas pipeline from Russia to Western Europe, which forced them to rely on Russia for their energy. We could have provided them with this energy. Yet more bare assertions with no facts to back them up.
Everyone of the also stated, and strongly, their support for socialism. Republicans also strong stated their support of socialism in the form of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA system of hospitals, and numerous other social programs.

Phat writes: If Jesus was Gods one and only son, He most certainly did exist. According to the concept of the Trinity, Jesus is God, so that would make God God's only son.
If you were God, your son could and would exist the moment he became a gleam in his father's eye... Jesus is God, so that would mean God started to exist when God was a gleam in his own eye. That doesn't make much sense.

candle2 writes: The Dixiecrats were Democrats. Besides StromThurmond one other Dixiecrat might have done so. However, Strom did not switch until the mid 60s. By that time he did not have the same rhetoric The racist Southern Democrats defected over to the Republican party. That's a fact. That's where they remain. You also seem to ignore modern history. Which party is fighting for minority rights? Democrats or Republicans? At which rallies to you see the battle flag of the Confederacy? Is it at Democratic rallies, or Republican ones? Who is fighting against Affirmative Action and Voting rights that were part of the Civil Rights Act? It isn't Democrats.

candle2 writes: Paulk, at Mount Sinai (Jabal al Lawz) we have the caveof Elijah; altar of Moses; wells; golden calf altar; an old stream that ran down: blackened top; 3000 graves cemetary; lakebed; petroglyphs of bulls; and, Moses' speaking platform located a little ways up the mountain. Ron Wyatt has been dead for years, and he's still conning people. Amazing.

candle2 writes: Evolutionists believe that life was created by randomchance. There are many evolutionists who think the first life was created by God. This is common among Christians who accept evolution. More to the point, not one thing in the theory of evolution would need to be changed if the first life was created by God and the biodiversity we see today evolved from that universal common ancestor.
It takes great faith to believe that life came from nonlife. But it requires no faith to believe life was magicked into existence by a deity?

candle2 writes: Taq, the number of people who believe a certain way hasnothing to do with whether they are right or not. We are not talking about whether they are right nor not. We are talking about what they say their beliefs are. Earlier, you said: "Evolutionists believe that life was created by random chance." I was pointing out that this isn't true of all evolutionists. There are evolutionists who believe the first life was created by God.
